Saturday Snapshot: Orange Azaleas

Despite the rainy weather, the orange azalea in front of our porch is starting to bloom. I love the peachy blossoms!

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme, bloggers are asked to post a photo that they (or a friend or family member) have taken, then leave a direct link to your post on the Saturday Snapshot site. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. All she asks is that you don't post random photos that you find online. Thanks to Alyce at At Home With Books for hosting!

Oh, my goodness! I've never seen an orange azalea. Ours are beyond the peak here in TX too. I love the feathery edges of azaleas. When I was growing up, we had many of them in our backyard beds - all shades of pink.

Thanks, everyone. Wow, I had no idea that orange is the native color of azaleas -- I grew up with pink and purple! When we lived in Florida, we had a row of deep coral azaleas in front of the house that I loved. I couldn't find that color when we moved to PA, so I settled on this lighter orange!
